Can I freeze unsteamed xmas puds for next year?

GIRLPOWER_2

Mid November I made delias traditional christmas puddings x 2.

Only steamed and used 1 on christmas day the other remains maturing under the stairs.

Do you think it would be ok in the freezer for 12 months?

Anyone tried this?

TIA

Hi Tia

I haven't tried freezing the pud, but I have eaten a year old Delia one and it was OK.

Thanks for replying. :beer:

Not sure I fancy leaving it 12 months.

Any one else with a success story in the freezer?

Most christmas puddings have a very long shelf life and we have bought several as my O/H loves them, they were reduced to less than half price and we just store them in the cupboard. A good one is meant to last a long time and gets better as it matures so you shouldn't need to freeze it.

Edit: didn't read the question properly and thought you had bought it! Doh! I still think it should last a long time without freezing, they are supposed to mature rather than 'go off'!

Hi, I keep mine for several months and they're fine. Delia, however, recommends that if you don't eat them straight away, they're better frozen.

This year I used a pudding which has been in my freezer for four years. I took it out in October to mature and it tasted heavenly.
